    Paintwork protection

    I plan on having mine done in Xpel Ultimate, that usually runs $2000 ish for the front clip of the car, so I would expect at least 4k for a full wrap (although not necessary).

    Model 3 Door Handles - Here is how they actually work

    I really wouldn't worry about the handles icing. If you know its going to be icy, use the "remote start" to heat up the car before going out and that should be enough to thaw it enough to chip it away.

    Best economy, cruise control or mild hypermile

    Yes I agree that CC is a bit too aggressive. I have gotten the best hyper-miling mpg with good old fancy footwork

    How many miles a year will you drive your model ☰?

    I drive 70 miles a day which equates roughly 19k a year on just commuting, not to mention other side trips. So I'm estimating 20k a year.

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    I'll be putting roughly 19k miles a year on mine I believe so I guess I will find out how long they last

    Order / Delivery Location

    Online / / Will probably pick up at the Rockville Service Center, MD.

    How old are the people who reserved one?

    22 here. Hoping the car will last me a very long time :)

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    I wouldn't let oil be in a car for 15k miles, even if it is standard. My 2015 mustang gt is supposed to be changed every 5-7500 but I will still change it every 2-3k or once a year, whatever happens first. It can't hurt to change it more frequently, and the peace of mind / cheap cost is worth it.

    Wheel Size?

    I wouldn't mind an 18" wheel with a slightly larger profile all season tire for comfort, and maybe the 20" wheel with a summer tire as the "performance/upgraded" wheel/tire package.

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    Premium is only $2.10 in NJ? :O it's ~$2.50 here! And I only predict that they will continue to rise so the Mustang might have to stay parked more often than not :/

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    I'll be putting down a good amount and then financing the rest. Can't hurt to have a loan for more credit :)

    What Are Your Daily Driver Plans While Awaiting the Model 3?

    Hope my 95 Saturn with 180k miles survives until delivery :)

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    I will get AWD if it isn't overly expensive same with leather. A larger battery would be #1 on my list so I can go further without having to charge.

    Wheel Option Speculation

    Yeah if I'm going to have big brakes on the car (4 piston brembo, etc) I definitely want the wheel to be transparent enough to be able to see them, plus it lets them cool better during hard braking.

    Model 3 Notchback Trunk - Deal-Killer?

    I honestly have no complaints after seeing the perspective from doublejj's post. That's plenty of room for a couple of suitcases!

    Model 3 Notchback Trunk - Deal-Killer?

    Hopefully what they will do is eliminate or shrink the rear "cargo deck" behind the rear seats and make the trunk open up to that point to allow bigger objects to fit in.

    Lack of Instrument Panel due to Augmented Reality Glasses

    Hindsight is 20/20 they say :P

    Model 3 Notchback Trunk - Deal-Killer?

    Trunk is fine for me, no bigger than my fiancé's focus. If I need more space I can use the frunk too :)

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    This is achievable by distributing the work across two motors which would require less amperage than putting all of the weight on one motor to get the car moving.

    Prediction: Model 3 Orders to reach 100k in 24 hours

    It's going to be quite exciting to see more Tesla owners on the road in the coming years, especially with how the reservation numbers are looking currently.

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    It might not be a bad idea either way. I'm sure you will do just fine with a set of good all season tires and RWD, but AWD has its advantages as well.

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    Perfect! As long as there's room in the front for number plates.

    What number am I in line?

    Place in line can vary by region / options ordered. You could be higher in the queue but if someone behind you orders more options than you they will advance in the queue and will have their vehicle built earlier.

    RN Digits

    There was plenty of speculation about the RN but it appears that is random.
